Get ready to kick up some dust and dance the weekend away—Fairwell Festival 2025 is riding into Redmond, Oregon, on July 18–19, and it promises to be the summer’s most unforgettable musical roundup. Taking place against the breathtaking backdrop of Central Oregon, this two-day celebration will unite a one-of-a-kind lineup of country and Americana heavy-hitters, rising stars, and a few surprise guests guaranteed to spark your wanderlust for wide-open spaces and good times.
Friday, July 18 sets the tone in a big way: none other than Tyler Childers headlines, with his soul-stirring lyrics and electrifying energy certain to get the crowd howlin’. He’ll be joined by the legendary Dwight Yoakam, the smooth baritone of Cody Jinks, plus fan-favorites Tanya Tucker, Flatland Cavalry, and Wyatt Flores—each ready to deliver the perfect blend of honky-tonk, twang, and foot-stomping fun. Keep your ears perked for emerging talent like Max McCown, Ole 60, and Willow Avalon, who’ll reel you in with their fresh takes on country and Americana. Between sets, discover artisan eats and Oregon-brewed libations, all while taking in the sweet summer air.
If day one whets your appetite, Saturday, July 19 is a honky-tonk feast you won’t want to miss. With Sturgill “Johnny Blue Skies” Simpson front and center, Saturday’s lineup includes an eclectic mix—from the captivating voice of Sierra Ferrell to the outlaw grit of Koe Wetzel, plus rap icon Ludacris ready to add an unexpected (but oh-so-irresistible) twist. Country-rock sensations Treaty Oak Revival, and revered songwriters Robert Earl Keen, Marty Stuart & His Fabulous Superlatives, and Charles Wesley Godwin round out a genre-blending roster that’ll have you cheering for more. Expect to stumble upon hidden gems, like Kaitlin Butts and Cameron Whitcomb, whose performances might just make them your new favorite artists.
Beyond the music, Fairwell Festival 2025 celebrates all things local and lively. From artisanal crafts to mouthwatering food trucks, you’ll find plenty of reasons to wander the festival grounds between sets. And for those who need a breather from the dancing, there will be laid-back lounge areas to sip a cold one and soak up that glorious Oregon sunshine.
Whether you’re a lifelong fan of roots music or itching to discover new sonic frontiers, Fairwell Festival is the place to plant your boots this summer. Mark those calendars, secure your passes, and come ready to experience the rugged charm and unbridled spirit of Redmond. Trust us—you won’t want to say “farewell” when it’s all said and done.
